I so much wish I could be there with you all right now.

I dearly love Grandma Ollie and will miss her. We always looked forward to her Christmas cards and the great letters she painstakingly wrote each year updating us about her family. She used to write little stories about the "old days" fishing in Canada or playing cards with Ivan and my grandparents. But in more recent years when writing became too difficult, her letters turned into short notes. Even in just those few words she wrote, we always sensed the great love she felt for us and especially for her family. I loved visiting her each time I came back to town and I truly will miss doing that.

But hey! The gang is finally back together again. Makes me feel like fishing.

All my love,

Heidi Cambier
and Troy, Teal. and Teagan

We will really miss Ollie. She was such a good neighbor, friend and we really thought of her as family. Ollie has left us some great memories. We enjoyed going over to her house and sitting and talking with her. She gave us a lot of history about the town of Winnebago as well as of herself and her family. She made us laugh as well as think about comments she made long after we left her house. We had quite a time with her, though, as whatever we maybe did for her, she felt as though she should pay us back. We'd always tried to "one up" her--if she sent us cash for something we'd done for her, we'd send her that amount plus a little more back. We also appreciated how she took such good care of her flowers. It was always a joy to look across the street and see her flowers in full bloom. Ollie was a great lady and will forever remain in our hearts and will never be forgotten even though she may not walk with us anymore here on Earth. May she have found peace in Heaven. Our sympathies to all of her family that was so dear to her.
